Rune Shamanism
I will be glad to move on to another rune.
Nyd has been a really deep rune for me. I know that this makes it even more important but it has been difficult to shake off some of the aftereffects even with grounding. I’ve tended to keep thinking about the hard lessons it has been teaching […]
This morning I made a potion for a friend of mine at work. As I mixed the EO’s, I caught a whiff of black pepper EO and immediately thought of Nyd. The odor is not really pleasant and is a very dark smell. For me, Nyd has had a lot of darkness to it. Black […]
I am so glad yesterday is over. I learned that my son’s ship stood down - which means that at the last minute he didn’t sail. Instead he was transferred back to his original ship which will not be deployed for a while. Thank the Goddess!
I was going through my crystal collection this morning and […]
Today was a very disturbing experience with Nyd. I found myself running desperately out of a forest accompanied by Shakti (my wolf guide). I kept running and running as though for my very life. Tears were running down my cheeks. My heart was pounding so fast and hard. I thought it would come out of […]
Today I learned an almost bitter lesson. We took Magick out into a canyon and almost lost her. In spite of taking water for her, it was too hot and she got heatstroke. In a matter of minutes, she had become ill. We dumped her in the river and she laid right down in the […]
Today is the day to test the power of Nyd. I went in for measurements. To my sorrow I only lost one pound - but I lost a total of 10″. Changing fat to muscle? hmmmmmmmm.
So onward this week with the power of Nyd and we’ll see how it works this week!

yet often it is made by men’s sons to help
and heal, however, if they heed it in time.”

Today I decided to think about what tree I would associate with Nyd. I remember that somewhere I read it would be the beech or rowan. But when I pictured a […]
I’ve done some more thinking about Nyd. I remember when I was first studying the Witches’ Runes. The card pictured what I felt to be two kings (turned out to be dwarves) each in their fortress looking at each other while being threatened by a dragon. The question was would they combine their strengths to fight […]
Today was a very disturbing day with Nauthiz. I woke up picturing Nyd and started remembering my life. It was as though I was writing a book or journal for my kids. I was going to give each of them a copy when completed. It would be a total display of the life I led […]
When I picture the darkest depths of Nyd, I picture a black hole. Inside is a person, maybe me?, struggling to climb out. All is dark except for that white persistant figure. You can tell that she is fatigued and slowly reaching the end of her energy. She calls upon Urd, the Crone of the […]
